Do I Need A Separate 2ch Power Amp To Run The Presence Sound Effect

Hi, my name is Joe. I was thinking of buying the 3900 reciever and was reading a article that stated you can't have the surround back channel and the presence channel both on at the same time. If you could, then it would be a 9 channel reciever such as the z9. Do I need to run a separate 2ch amp to have the surround back and presence both work at the same time?
